RMLS™ Events:

-December 3: On Saturday, December 3rd, we will be completing part one of a two-part server move. This will require us to pull RMLSweb offline for one hour from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM while we move our corporate servers. During this brief outage, all RMLS™ websites will be unavailable. Beyond this one-hour unavailability of RMLS™ systems, the IMS (Internet Member Services) system may lose availability intermittently throughout Saturday evening as we move our servers.

-December 17-18 : On Saturday, December 17th and Sunday, December 18th, we will be moving our RMLSweb servers to the data center in downtown Portland. This will require us to place RMLSweb in maintenance mode for the weekend from December 17th to December 18th. While RMLSweb will be in maintenance mode, users will be able to search for listings and agent contact information. During maintenance mode, the searchable content on RMLSweb will be read-only and users will not be able to save searches, create profiles or enter listings.

-December 26: All RMLS™ offices will be closed on December 26th for the holiday.  In addition, the RMLS™ Help Desk will be closed on Saturday, December 24th and Saturday, December 31st.
